Biggest Regrets People Have Before They Die

Death is always scary. But it gets even more frightening when you realize that you've lived a life full of regrets. Everyone goes through life making enough mistakes and resulting damage that, by the time they are old enough, they have a list of things that they would want to change if they could go back in time.

Although we cannot live our lives the way they are completely free of regrets, (let's be honest: everyone have had failed relationships, missed opportunities and poor judgment calls) - some regrets are more fundamental, greater in scope. They tend to focus not on a single moment or area, but on how life is lived.

An Australian palliative nurse, Bronnie Ware, has counseled the dying in their last days and has revealed the 5 most common regrets people have at the end of their lives.

These people have shared true words of wisdom. And thanks to them we have an opportunity to think about it while we still have time to change everything and live our lives the way we truly want.

I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me

This regret was the most common of all. Sometimes we live the way others expect us to live. But when it comes to an end we start to realize that thank to the fear of what people would think or how disappointed they will be, we have lived our one and only life not the way we wanted. All those unfulfilled dreams that we thought we had time for in the future. Think about it. If you had one month left to live would you live it the way you do it now? Or you would finally start listening to your own desires and dreams?
